Okay, I have found the offenders in
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg:

KanjiMap otf- at kanjiEmbed@.map
#! KanjiMap otf-cktx.map
#! KanjiMap morisawa.map
KanjiMap ptex- at kanjiEmbed@.map

Maybe those option-macrofied entries don't get disabled as they should
with --syncwithtrees?

Is commenting them out by hand the proper fix? (It works, but for how long?)
